Description:

HARPA stands for Hamiltonian Acoustic Ray-tracing Program for the Atmosphere. This FORTRAN computer program traces the three-dimensional paths of acoustic rays through model atmospheres by numerically integrating Hamilton's equations, which are a differential expression of Fermat's principle. The user specifies an atmospheric model by writing closed-form formulas for its three-dimensional wind and temperature (or sound-speed) distribution, and by defining the height of the reflecting terrain as a function of geographic latitude and longitude.
